Annual Awards
With all the fanfare and razzamatazz of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show, but without Sue
Barker to host, the club's annual dinner and presentation night took place at Hamptworth Golf Club on the
last Sunday in November. A good turn out gave due attention and applause as the season was summarised by
the respective captains and committee members, with the trophies for 2011 going to the following
worthy recipients:
1st XI Player of the Year: Paddy LeCount
1st XI Batting Cup: Jim Dovey
1st XI Bowling Cup: Jim Dovey
2nd XI Player of the Year: Barney Orr
2nd XI Batting Cup: Mike Coulshed
2nd XI Bowling Cup: Barney Orr
Young Player of the Year: Barney Orr
Most Improved Player: Jack Orr
Midweek Player of the Year: Tim Drew
Clubman of the Year: Richie Hamblin
Gerry Yeatman Endeavour Trophy: Marcus Buchanan
In addition, Jim Dovey won the divisional bowling cup for Regional 1 South and Tim Drew won the award for
best bowling figures in the 2nd division of the Border League, so a big congrats to them for their extra
achievements. The Doug Dugard Shield was retained by Sharpy on behalf of his Sherfield cohorts after their
annual victory over a game but outclassed Whiteparish outfit.
Thanks to Hamptworth for hosting, and to the committee in general but Sharpy and MC in particular, for organising
another top night out.
AGM time again
It's time to see the club's democratic process in action again with the AGM scheduled for
Monday 14th March at the Kings. Be there to find out the latest on the Memorial Ground situation,
elect this year's club officers and just maybe have a beer or two and a social chit chat. 7.30pm for an 8 o'clock
start.
Dates For Your Diaries
A couple of essential dates for your diaries in the coming months.
Vice-Presidents' Day, Sunday August 22nd
All the fun you've come to know and love, with the annual dust up between Whiteparish and Sherfield for the Doug
Dugard Shield, BBQ, raffle and whatever other fun we can squeeze into the day.
Annual Dinner, Saturday November 27th
The end of season bun fight, with reflections on the 2010 season, prize giving and a general excuse to get together
once the nights have drawn in and the hazy days of summer are but a blurred memory. We're booked into the usual
venue of the Hamptworth golf club, so you all know your way there by now!
Annual General Meeting
It's admin time again, and the club's AGM, the annual opportunity for you to have a say in the direction and running of the club, as well as voting in the
committee members for the next 12 months, takes place on Monday 29 March at the Kings Head. Proceedings scheduled to start at 8pm,
or whenever enough people have arrived. Any apologies for absence to be sent to our glamorous secretary Sharpy.
Pots Mean Prizes!
The 2009 annual dinner, another entertaining evening held at Hamptworth Golf Club, saw the awarding of the usual array
of trophies for the plethora of worthy winners. The roll of honour for 2009, which saw promotion for the 1sts and consolidation
for the 2nds, reads as follows:
1st XI Player of the Year: Jimmy Hamblin
1st XI Batting Cup: Jimmy Hamblin
1st XI Bowling Cup: Jim Dovey
2nd XI Player of the Year: Paddy LeCount
2nd XI Batting Cup: Rich DaCosta
2nd XI Bowling Cup: Steve Jewell
Young Player of the Year: Paddy LeCount
Most Improved Player: Steve Jewell
Border League Player of the Year: Charlie Evans
Clubman of the Year: Nick Evans
Gerry Yeatman Trophy: Tim Drew
To bolster their already bulging trophy cabinets, Jim Dovey and Jazza also won their respective divisional bowling and batting
cups for their aggregate tallies of wickets and runs, so an extra "well done" to them on fine seasons. As if Sharpy needed reminding,
there was also the official presentation of the Doug Dugard Shield to Lord Harris, who almost single-handedly retained the trophy for Whiteparish
with a demoralising display of strokemaking against Sherfield. Congratulations to all the deserving award winners.

Clear your diaries, dust off your party shoes and get your drinking trousers ironed - it's time for the annual club dinner!
When?: Saturday 28 November
Where?: Hamptworth Golf Club

committee members for the next 12 months, takes place on Monday 16 March in the function room of the Kings. Proceedings scheduled to start at 8pm,
or whenever enough people have arrived. Any apologies for absence to be sent to our glamorous secretary Sharpy.
Heroes of 2008
The annual dinner, the usual retrospective of the season just finished, took place at the end of November with the stand out performers from the
year being rewarded for their efforts. The roll of honour for 2008, a good year for the 2nd XI and not quite so good for the 1sts, reads as follows:
1st XI Player of the Year: Glyn Turk
1st XI Batting Cup: Malcolm Noble
1st XI Bowling Cup: Charlie Evans
2nd XI Player of the Year: Josh Green

Border League Player of the Year: Sean Coulshed
Clubman of the Year: Richie Hamblin
Gerry Yeatman Trophy: Geoff Dear
In addition, Matt Metcalfe claimed the Border League divisional batting award for hammering attacks to all parts on Tuesday evenings, and the invaders from up
the road were repelled as Whiteparish claimed an unlikely win to capture the Doug Dugard Shield from Sherfield. Congratulations to all the deserving award winners.
